Vampire Half 3: A Snake's Pride
Author's Note: Vampire Half is back ALL RIGHT! Back here to continue with my trilogy (before HP 5 comes out) even though I never planned to make one. As you can remember, Voldemort was defeated in the last story, some Death Eaters still are alive and free, roaming the land. Here will be new characters, and there will be a surprise! Enjoy reading! (All characters belong to J.K. Rowling, except Selena, Septimus, Dr. Hunder and Mata Shani).
He came and took me by the hand
Up to a red rose tree,
He kept His meaning to Himself
But gave a rose to me.
I did not pray him to lay bare
The mystery to me,
Enough the rose was Heaven to smell,
And his own face to see.
('The Mystery' by Ralph Hodgson)

Sibyl giggled, while Severus glowered at her.
'It's not funny, Sibyl!' growled Severus.
'Sorry, Severus, I'm just laughing at the way how Sirius got his period!' snorted Sibyl with laughter behind her hand.
Severus allowed for a little smirk to creep upon his face. The look was priceless on Sirius' face when he found out that he had the time of the month.
Sibyl laughed and flung her hair back. God, she was beautiful. He remembered how her favourite flower was a white rose, so much like Jade's favorite flower.
'I have brought you something,' he said, handing her the small, pretty white flower.
Sibyl smiled.
'And where have you got it from?' she inquired.
'From the gardens..when I was escaping from our..escapade with Black and Lupin,' uncertainly answered Severus, while Sibyl burst into bouts of laughter again.
'Thank you,' Sibyl regained her composure.
Severus just gave her a small kiss on the forehead, while the Divination professor blushed. It has been a long time since her long feared husband, the dreaded Potions Master gave her some showing of affection.
Suddenly, their moment was destroyed when a wild-haired Ruby dashed into the room, her blue eyes wide in panic.
'Septimus..sent me...here..' panted Ruby, clutching a stitch in her chest, 'He said...Selena..very sick...come immediately...'
Severus bounded up from his chair, and quickly walked to the Slytherin common rooms, Sibyl not far behind him. He went to the plae where Severus had to say the password.
'Dark mind.' Severus said the code, and the wall swung aside, letting him through to the Slytherins' lair.
'Professors!' Exclaimed Draco, coming up to them immediately,' Selena is upstairs in her room. Septimus is with her, he won't leave her side!'
Severus went upstairs, and opened the door. Selena was on the bed, covered in blankets, while Septimus kneeled by her side. The other girls were a good distance away from the bed, obviously being aware of the risk of them getting the disease.
'Septimus,' whispered Severus,' move away.'
'I can't father,' answered back Septimus,' Selena is sick..'
'Septimus, do as your father says,' quietly joined in Sibyl the conversation.
Septimus, reluctantly, moved away from the bed. He watched as his father and mother approached the bed and seated themselves at Selena's side.
Severus put his hand on Selena's forehead. It was hot. Selena's face was a bluish color, and she was breathing heavily. Small, white spots seemed to appear aroung her neck. Her gray blue eyes were clouded, as if her vision was foggy.
'Father?' she whispered, her voice sounding so very tiny.
Severus realized how weak she was. His heart went out to her. Sibyl gave Selena a small hug, which seemed to cheer up the teenager a bit.
'How could this happen?' asked Septimus, frowning.
'The remaining Death Eaters have sent an epidemic around the school, which will attack those whose parents were against Voldemort,' explained Severus,' I killed him. Ever since it was found out that I was the heir, then the Slytherins were against Voldemort.'
'So it will attack Slytherins first?' asked Septimus.
Sibyl nodded wordlessly.
Septimus seemed to understand something. Slytherins could be extremely faithful to their true leader, no matter how evil he was, for they believe that he is the only person who truly cared about them. He was their father.
'Do you recognize this disease?' asked Sibyl, looking at Severus with worry and fear in her eyes.
Severus looked down at his daughter. Yes, he knew this disease, but it seemed impossible for her to have it. But then, the Death Eaters could have all sources from where they could have gotten the disease.
'I think,' spoke Severus,' it must be White Orinus disease.'
Sibyl gasped. Septimus looked up sharply with impossibility written on his face. Severus looked down.
'But...how?' Whispered Sibyl.
'I'm surprised also,' Severus kept his face down,' I thought this disease was wiped out a long time ago. It had come from Easter Island, the little island near Chile where the inhabitants died there from some mysterious disease. The wizard explorers had brought it back to Europe when it also mysteriously appeared in China, in the wizarding world. Then, it was wiped out.'
'We finished it off by making a medicine?' Sibyl asked, remembering her seventh year history lessons.
Severus sighed,' So many lives were lost...even when the medicine was discovered...all because the medicine wasn't ready.'
Sibyl frowned,' What do you mean?'
Severus looked up and stared into her eyes,' The Flower of Moon doesn't bloom until late spring.'
Septimus heard his mother draw in a sharp breath. He turned away. How could this happen? Those damned Death Eaters! He vowed that he would do anything to stop them.
Outside, another body also heard the conversation. The person moved away from the shadows and ran out of the common room. Ruby had to warn Harry and Hermione.
But she didn't notice two curious eyes watching her leave. Those were the mysterious eyes of Leonardo Moon.
Author's Note: Hmmmm..curiouser and curiouser! What is this disease? How is Selena going to be healed? Does Leonardo Moon have something that we don't know? Please review!
